The word is {ghob}. It was introduced in The Klingon Way.
Forget about using {'e'} for this. {'e'} refers to the previous sentence, not
a thing. What you want is {vay'}.
vay''e' muvmoHbogh ghob chevlaHbe' Hegh.
Remember to negate the correct suffix. {chevbe'laH} means "able to not
separate." ("To boldly split infinitives that no man had split before!")
{chevlaHbe'} means {not able to separate}.
Literally, it's "Death is not able to separate something which virtue causes
to join." I'm not sure if {muv} is transitive or not. For a substitute, you
might try
vay'e' tay'moHbogh ghob chevlaHbe' Hegh.
